With 35,000 works of art,...

5.00With 35,000 works of art, you can’t see it all. Sid did a great job navigating through all the crowds and allowing us to see not just the greatest works of art, but also lesser known works.
A great experience

5.00Very informative and interesting. You do stand in one place for a long time so if you have problems with standing, beware of that.
Informative Tour!

5.00Informative tour with knowledgeable guide; children under 18 should bring ID for entry. I’ve visited the Louvre multiple times but having a guide was by far the best visit!
Great Tour!!

5.00A big advantage of the guided tours is the special group entrance that allows you to skip the line and enter the museum very quickly. Our guide Monika was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Her English was excellent and she provided many interesting facts as we visited the highlights of the museum. This was an excellent tour.
Quick Tour Definitely worth it..

5.00Avi was our tour guide and he was wonderful. We enjoyed how he explained things, and his friendliness made us very comfortable as well. He has a vast amount of knowledge that adds to the understanding of the art, especially for my 10 yr old son.

5.00Our guide, Sid, was well versed in French history and knowledgeable about the paintings and sculptures. On top of that he was very funny and can sing well. We got to see the most well known pieces of art without having to stand in line.
